Maudy Ayunda is my favorite artist.

She is very beautiful and

smart. She makes me fall in love with her since first I saw her at
TV.

My first time saw her is when she promotes a beauty product

on a TV’s advertisement. Since then, she plays movies and also
become a singer. Her voice is also wonderful. I like the song
since the first time I heard it.

Maudy is also an artist that care about her education. I hear

now she is studying somewhere at foreign university. I hope she
will make new movies and songs soon.
